  • Quick Capture Button (New Content + New Client)

Automation Ideas (No-Code)

1. Button Automations (Notion 2025+)

Button: "Mark as Published"
→ Update Status = Published
→ Set Publish Date = Today
→ Add to "Published Archive" view
Button: "Send to Client for Review"
→ Update Status = In Review
→ Create new page in client’s Notion (if synced)
→ Add reminder for follow-up in 48h

2. Powerful Formulas

// Days Until Publish
dateBetween(prop("Publish Date"), now(), "days")
// Revenue This Month
if(month(now()) == month(prop("Due Date")), prop("Amount"), 0)

3. Database Templates

When creating a new Content entry, use a template that auto-fills:

  • SEO checklist checklist
  • Content brief section
  • Linked client properties

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

  1. Create 3 new databases: Content, Clients, Invoices
  2. Set up Relations: Content ↔ Clients (bidirectional)
  3. Create Rollups: Total Earned on Clients DB from Invoices
  4. Build the Master Dashboard page with linked database views
  5. Add buttons and formulas as shown above
  6. Duplicate the Content template with your standard workflow
